Creative Alchemy & the Art of Aron Wiesenfeld

I was introduced to the work of Aron Wiesenfeld by way of a friend’s Facebook post. This was the piece—an etching, entitled “Leigh”:

I downloaded the image, expanded it on my screen, and simply stared at it for thirty minutes.

What is she thinking? Is she dreaming, worried, exhausted, at peace after some drawn-out, gut-wrenching fiasco?

Sources of inspiration are plentiful and infinitely varied—as unique as the pre-dispositions, views, character and tastes we all possess.  What one person finds “genius” another might find dull, droll or dubious (I dig “d” words).

Aron Wiesenfeld speaks to me—sparks a flame of creative alchemy within me.

I once asked the curator of a gallery I enjoyed visiting about a painting and what it meant, and she responded, “What do you want it to mean?”

Clever answer. What do I want this etching of Leigh to mean? More importantly: How can I get my hands on one of these etchings, as soon as possible?
